5. The Nightclub Has Been Closed

Six other people were injured in the attack. This is the second shooting to occur at the nightclub and as a result the venue has been closed by Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange, reports WSFA. The mayor’s statement reads:

Effective immediately, the City of Montgomery has taken action to close the Centennial Hill Bar and Grill on Highland Avenue, which operated previously as the Rose Supper Club. We do not take this action lightly, but believe this decision is compelled by clear evidence that continued operation of this establishment poses an imminent threat to the public’s safety. Just this morning a 21-year-old young woman and a 22-year-old young man were shot and killed there, and six other young adults were shot and wounded. The shootings occurred despite the presence of the club’s security and repeated cautions from the City.

I have been in consultation with the city’s Legal Department, the Montgomery Police Department, Fire Department, Public Safety Department, City Council members and the ABC Board. At the same time, the Montgomery Police Department’s investigation into this senseless shooting is proceeding, and we have every confidence that the individual or individuals responsible will be identified and apprehended. We are working to bring the perpetrators to justice, but we also must take protective and preventive action. I believe it is not a matter of “if,” but “when” the next tragic incident occurs at this business. That is unacceptable, and that is why we have ordered the business to be closed effective immediately.
